I had similar problems with that a7n8x-delux board with IDE drives.
Random lockups under high HD or network load IIRC. I ended up fixing
this by going to ac-sources, which have the proper drivers for the
nforce2 chipset. Run "dmesg | grep -i nforce" and see if anything shows
up. There'll be an option in the kernel config
ATA/IDE/etc->Block Devices
<*> AMD and nVidia IDE support
There are also nvidia nforce specific options in the Sound section, and
under Character Devices->AGPGART.
I have these enabled and my A7N8X has been rock solid for a few kernel
revs (all ac-sources IIRC), as opposed to when I first got it and it was
a crashy POS that felt like a windows 3.0 system on LSD :)
